" to overascribe traits on a racial basis ......"

To overascribe traits, I think, can be racist if used in a desparaging way but using them as an ethnic or racial stereotype might, at most, be considered biased. A white guy saying "blacks are the best basketball players", would not be called racist since he is ascribing to blacks a characteristic that says blacks are superior to whites. This stereotype might be called biased but not racist.
